Imagine the possibility of treating conditions such as heart disease, arthritis, or spinal cord injuries using a therapy that harnesses the body’s natural healing power. That’s the incredible potential of stem cell therapy.
Just a year ago, a patient travelled to USA due to blockage in his leg that required stenting to prevent a serious complication. Unfortunately, the stent failed after a year, causing the foot to turn black due to a arterial blockage as the patient continued to smoke. So, we at Global Heart Super Speciality Hospital Ludhiana opted for a non-surgical option, that is stem cell therapy and injected Stem Cells in the leg of the patient. This was the first attempt of Stem Cell Treatment in Punjab by Dr. Luv Luthra.
Stem cell therapy is a modern and minimally invasive procedure that can be used as an alternative to amputation for patients who are not candidates for angioplasty or bypass surgery. Rather than losing a limb, Stem Cells can be injected into the affected area to promote healing and regeneration. This option is often preferred by patients who want to avoid amputation and rest pain due to absent blood supply. Stem Cell therapy is a minor procedure in which no cuts are needed. Just by looking at the scan reports, Stem Cells are injected at places where arteries are blocked. Stem Cells start working in 48 to 72 hours and in up to 21 days we have observed that new arteries are formed.
We had to remove the foot but with the efforts of Dr. Luv Luthra and the entire team of Global Heart Hospital Super Speciality Hospital , successful stem cell therapy was done , the leg was saved and patient can walk around with prosthesis.
Now Patients no longer have to travel far and wide for cutting-edge treatments, they can receive world-class care right here at Global Heart and Super Speciality Hospital, Ferozepur Road, Near Octroi Post, Ludhiana.
